There are a few unique places where rainforest streams and small rivers have crystal-clear water. These amazing places represent windows through which the diver or snorkeler can be given a view of the underwater world of the Amazon.
This expedition up the Rio Negro will present participants with a rare opportunity not only to see incredible fishes and other aquatic animals, but also to explore rainforests, ramble through orchid communities, interact with local peoples, and explore one of the world's greatest rivers. All of this can be done without being attacked by mosquitoes, which are often the scourge of other Amazonian rivers. The Rio Negro supports few biting insects, thus the traveler is free to enjoy star-filled evenings or walk along moonlit beaches without giving up any blood.
